Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 961

At the same time, Daphne’s report caused a huge uproar online.

Although Steve was not as popular as current superstars, he was not someone nameless. Even some of his paintings were so famous that have gone out of the industry and were widely spread online.

Many painters even regard Steve as their teacher. They respected him and envy the love story between him and his wife at the same time.

They could never imagine that he was such an inveracious person.

As the discussion increased, more and more people began to discuss about the incident.

In addition to the case of Steve itself, many people have begun to discuss domestic violence. Just like what Daphne said in the news and what the defense lawyer said in the trial, women should choose to stand out when they encounter such tragedy instead of compromising.

Domestic violence shouldn’t just be warned or fined simply. If this worked, Steve’s wife wouldn’t choose to suicide, and there wouldn’t be thousands of news stories like this throughout the year.

When Steve was taken away by the police for re-investigation, he took a deep look at Donald, “Mr. Shawn, you promised to help me.”

When Donald met his gaze, his expression was extremely cold, “Didn’t I help you win this lawsuit? The accusation of intentional homicide is not convicted. It’s what you’ve done that lead you here, and there’s nothing I can do.”

Steve still wanted to say something, but he was taken away by force.

Donald turned around, happen to see Daphne running towards him.

He put one hand in his trouser pocket, “I read the report. Good job, my girl. What do you think we should eat later?”

Daphne stood up in front of him, gasping for breath, “I am sorry, I can’t eat with you. The leader of our newspaper told me to go back. They are saying there will be a celebration party, and then the whole department would go together.”

Donald was silent.

He tentatively said, “Can’t you decline it?”

Daphne shook her head, seemed also a little regretful, “I am sorry, but I can’t reject it.”

She was already prepared to invite Mr. Shawn to dinner when the case was done.

She didn’t expect that the leader would set up such celebration party.

Donald sighed silently but still didn’t embarrass her, “Okay. Where’s the party? I’ll take you there.”

Daphne waved her hand, “I won’t bother you. I’ll just take the subway...”

Before she could finish her word, Donald took her hand and said as he walked, “Your boyfriend is here, and how could he let you take the subway?”

Hearing this, Daphne was stunned for two seconds, lowered her head, and a bright smile gradually shined on her face.

In the past few days, they were all busy with their work, and they couldn’t even have meal together.

So, as for the fact that Mr. Shawn had become her boyfriend, she would still be amazed by this. She sometime even felt that it’s not real, like a dream.

After getting in the car, Donald asked her for the address and turned on the navigation, “When will the party end at night? I’ll pick you up.”

“It may be a little late... or you should go to bed first.”

Donald looked at her, “However late it will be, just call me when it’s over. By the way, such a lady staying alone outside could be risky, don’t drink that much alcohols.”

Daphne held the seat belt in both hands and nodded slowly, “I won’t.”

After arriving at the party, Daphne said, “Mr. Shawn, then I’ll go in. Bye.”

Donald raised his eyebrows, “See you tonight.”

His voice was low and magnetic. These three words brought her an inexplicable and irresistible magical feeling.

Daphne blushed slightly, got out of the car, waved at him, turned around and ran into the restaurant.
